Master_Preferences file

[Jane Frasier]

I am using this to setup defaults that I want for a computer. It is working fine but there are some settings in Chrome that I am not seeing in the master_preferences file.

password_manager_enabled
Autofill

Also is it possible to also push an extension to users?

Thanks
Jane

I need this also for machines not controllable by Group Policies - anyone?

[Joao da Silva]

The password manager is controlled via "profile.password_manager_enabled". Autofill is controlled via "autofill.enabled". Here's how to disable both:

{

  "profile": {

    "password_manager_enabled": false

  },

  "autofill": {

    "enabled": false

  }

}

That said, this is not a supported way of configuring Chrome. The encouraged mechanism is to use group policy.

Both autofill.enabled and profile.password_manager_enabled are listed properly, not sure why they're not honored.

+ma...@chromium.org +Ilya Sherman ? master_preferences will result in these being present in the initial Preferences file, any reason this wouldn't result in the desired effect? Does First Run somehow override these values?

Thanks,

Gab

Is "First Run" necesscary for the master_preferences ?

When i try to remove it, json format gets messed up.
